THE GOAL
• To improve a tool which can be leveraged by programmers and non-
programmers alike
• To make data exploration and analysis (relatively) easy and (definitely) fun
• To boldly go where no analytical software has gone before…

SMART
HIGHLIGHTING IN
THE PROGRAM
EDITOR
• Allows you to locate every instance of a given word
• Extremely helpful especially when finding/following multiple references

SAS MACRO
VARIABLE VIEWER
• A nod to Chris Hemedinger on this one – began life as a custom task he
wrote
• Allows you to view the current values of any – or all – of the macros variables
defined in a session
• Also provides a macro expression ‘quick view’ – immediately evaluates macro
functions and resolves macro variables - like %sysfunc(upcase(&_clientapp))

SAS SYSTEM
OPTIONS VIEWER
• Does what it says – let’s you view the current SAS system options for your
server
• Not a replacement for ‘proc options’… but a convenient alternative

INTEGRATING
CUSTOM CODE
• EG allows you to add custom code
within task generated code
• Now, custom code may be entered
directly into the Code Preview for Task
window
• More intuitive/user-friendly
• Uses the Program Editor features
(syntax colouring, suggestion,
autocompletion, etc.)

SAS code – a useful way to visualize the component parts of a program
• Starting in 7.1 you can expand macro functions
